Chapter 131 - Rejection

 

Sophinea reached out her hand in spite of herself to Azriel, the person who retrieved her speech and made her a wizard. She hung on to Azriel and burst into pent-up tears.

“Sophie?” Azriel called.

“You, you, don’t, know, ho-how much, you’ve done, for me… No, you, you, are not, just a, sister…,” Sophie poured out random words, sobbing. Even though she spoke, her mana did not go wild. Feeling such a sensation made her cry even more. She inhaled deeply and slowly enunciated words, trying not to stutter. “Thank you, master Azriel Esthera.”

Sophinea’s tearful smile was bright. Looking at her face, Azriel was relieved of all her tiredness which had been built up while staying up several nights running through theories.

‘It was a good thing I decided to help,’ she thought. Instead of replying to Sophie, she held her with all her strength.

Since then, Azriel trained Sophinea in the room of moss every other day. Sophinea wanted to train everyday, but it was unreasonable because it put a lot of strain on her body. They decided to keep the fact that she now had a name as a wizard a secret until Sophinea could use magic without Azriel’s help. It was Sophinea’s request that she wanted to show herself to her mom when she was completely healed. Azriel made a report about the excessive mana disorder, in which she focused on naming mana, minimizing the theories relating to ancient magic. Even when she completed the report, she did not yet receive the permission to rent the disc. So, she had some idle time. She began to investigate something else by visiting the society’s data storage room. It was about the ancient magic civilization and the wizard massacre which Rhema mentioned. Time flew by. ‘The Night of May Flower’ that Charles invited her to was only a day away.

Maylie visited Azriel in the afternoon of that day. Azriel came out of the underground tower after a long while. She met Maylie who had been waiting for her in a park near the society. Maylie had set up a picnic in a basket with pretty checkered cloth laid in it. The basket was full of foods that Azriel liked-orange juice with a thin layer of ice, a sandwich with fresh ham and cheese, a crispy chicken dish deep-fried with herb, a chocolate cake with a generous amount of whipped cream on top, and even a lemon tart with a thin layer of sugar baked in golden brown.

“How’s your runaway life?” Maylie asked mischievously, holding out a cup of juice.

“It’s not a runaway. I’ve got something to investigate in the society. Did Brownie pack this?”

“Yes. Oh, my mom made the sandwich.”

“Looks so delicious! Tell her I said thank you and tell Brownie that, too.”

“Why don’t you tell him directly? Brownie is whining twice as much because you’re not there. He talked all the way while packing this, too. I almost went deaf.”

“What did he say?”

“I miss Esthera. Why isn’t’ Esthera coming? Brownie must’ve made home more comfortable! So comfortable that she wouldn’t want to go out! What could’ve been uncomfortable? Human, do you know?” Maylie said, mimicking Brownie’s chaty voice.

Azriel smiled and replied. “It’s not because of Brownie. Tell him that I’m very satisfied with the house. I’m only staying here for work.”

“Hey, is that really all? Is it not because you’re angry at Mr. Wizard? Are you sure you don’t feel that way at all?” Maylie looked at Azriel as if she already knew her mind. Azriel sighed. “…Not completely.”

“I thought so,” Maylie said.

“I feel more hurt than angry.”

“Why? What happened?”

At her question, Azriel at last looked back at her heart to see what made her so sad. She recalled what Rhema had said.

“…If you want to choose that way, tell me anytime. I will prepare a life for you without a mistake this time.”

Why would Rhema keep trying to keep me apart? ‘…No, I know the reason.’ He probably thought that it would be better for her that way. I know.

“You’ve become too precious to do that.”
